Advancing Biological Research Through Open Innovation Competitions
The Harvard Business School website posted an article which noted that researchers use open innovation competitions to benchmark their solutions to a particular computational problem, or to generalize their methodologies to instances of the problem for which a solution is unknown. Past examples demonstrate that open innovation competitions possess considerable potential in addressing biology problems. Open innovation competitions of this nature allow members of the public to contribute meaningfully to academic fields by providing incentives and easy access to problems and data that are otherwise inaccessible to them.
